# Workflows

> Workflows is an execution engine built on Cloudflare Workers — to build applications that can automatically retry, persist state and run for minutes, hours, days, or weeks. No need to worry about scaling, managing infrastructure, or handling durability: Workflows takes care of it for you.

## Key Features

- Automatic retries
- State persistence
- Step-based execution
- Long-running support
- Human-in-the-loop
- Event-driven triggers
- Pay per compute time

## Benefits

### Step-based

Any logic wrapped in a step can be automatically retried and memoized for durability, without extra boilerplate or checkpoints.

### State included

Every instance persists to its own local state: no need to set up or manage a database or control plane.

### Human-in-the-loop

Wait on external events: webhooks, approvals, queue messages — and use them to determine the next steps in your Workflow.

## Use Cases

### Building AI agents

Code review tasks, compact context, or processing data

### Asynchronous tasks

Lifecycle emails, billing jobs, and critical data processing tasks

### Post-processing user-generated content

Run inference, clean up or validate uploaded content
